Megan Hine: The Psychology of Survival

This week, we're joined by Expedition Leader, Survival and Adventure Consultant Megan Hine.  Alongside WEM Founder Mark Hannaford, Megan discusses her career, from an Erasmus Year in Prague that proved a pivotal moment in sparking her love of the outdoors to entering the industry and working with Bear Grylls for over a decade. Megan also considers how gender has impacted her work and how social media can be an incredible tool in helping to confront traditional adventure stereotypes. Megan explores the psychology of survival, drawing comparisons from her work on expedition to life in lockdown. Acceptance is key, followed by the setting of clear boundaries and the value of routine to provide a sense of purpose and control.  Before wrapping up, Megan gives us a sneak peak into some of her future projects!    The Power of Adventure Podcast is available now. Megan covers 5 very different stories all with a common thread, a recognition of 'The Power of Adventure' in our lives for grounding us and fostering resilience.    Get in touch: Instagram: @megan_hine Twitter: @meg_hine
